| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Definition]
ChEBI: A fatty amide that is the carboxamide derived from palmitic acid. | [Uses]
Hexadecanamide can be used to prepare tissue regeneration. | [IC 50]
PPARα | [Purification Methods]
Crystallise the amide from thiophene-free *benzene and dry it under vacuum over P2O5. It is slightly soluble in EtOH, Me2CO, CHCl3 and toluene but insoluble in H2O. [Beilstein 2 H 374, 2 II 341, 2 III 975, 2 IV 1182.] |
